This past week actually had a few big events taking place. On Tuesday, we held a small Muster ceremony at the old AIB. Lindsay was the one responsible for putting most of it together and she did an excellent job. I really enjoyed being able to participate in an Aggie tradition even though we were so far from campus and even a few days late. But the meaning of the ceremony holds more weight than time and distance, which is one of the reasons why I was surprised none of the previous groups in Germany had held a Muster ceremony.
Thursday, we went to Bingen and visited two very different museums. The first museum was for Hildegard of Bingen, one of the only females we learned about in our History of European Medicine lectures. Even though a lot of her theories were wrong, since she believed in humoralist practices, she still sounds like a very strong individual and was very influential in the area. The second museum was in a man's house, since the city hadn't gotten the museum it's own space yet, and had a wide variety of pieces. It was kind of like a highlight real of a lot of what we covered in lectures and some of the pieces were actually impressive, considering the size of the museum.
Friday night, I went to see Avengers: Endgame with Joshua, Park, Ryan B., and Josh. It was a long movie but so so good. My favorite part was when Captain America finally used Mjolnir - I've been waiting for it for so long! Saturday, I watched another Harry Potter movie with Astrid, so there's only part two of the Deathly Hollows left in the original series, plus the Fantastic Beasts movie. The rest of the weekend wasn't very productive, outside of a bit of studying for the third physiology exam and the genetics final today.
